Chapter 15 The Fifteenth Melon Is Not That Kind
Bad reviews came like snowflakes, and Xu Jiayi's team tried their best to suppress the hot searches, but it didn't work. The revelations were all real, and Xu Jiayi's face could be clearly seen in every photo, but the time was a bit long ago, and Xu Jiayi herself had forgotten herself at that time.
"Who is torturing me? Have you found out? Are they all trash?"
Xu Jiayi yelled at her agent, who looked unhappy. They had tried their best to cover up and whitewash Xu Jiayi's past, so how come it was dug up again?
The atmosphere was extremely tense. Xu Jiayi's cell phone rang at an inopportune time. It was her personal cell phone.
When she heard the ringtone, Xu Jiayi's expression changed. She waved her hand to send everyone in the room out, and only answered the phone when she was the only one left.
"Something happened at the hospital. Two people died. The family members came to make a scene and were photographed. We have to stay out of the spotlight for the time being."
The person on the other end of the phone spoke in a serious tone. Xu Jiayi wanted to curse but didn't dare to speak loudly, so she could only lower her voice.
"How can you be so careless? Nothing happened for so many years, but recently things keep getting into trouble. What on earth do you do for a living?"
"It used to be voluntary, and they cooperated after receiving the money. Recently, many of them were forced by their families to come. Childbirth is inherently dangerous for women, and if they don't cooperate, we can only use coercion sometimes, which is inevitable. Mistakes will occur."
When they talked about this, the other side fell silent. Xu Jiayi felt a chill on her back, and there was only one thought in her mind: she had to run away.
After hanging up the phone, Xu Jiayi quickly went home to pack her things. When Jiang Yining came back and saw her in a hurry, he was a little worried.
"What's going on?"
"Stop talking nonsense, pack your things quickly, and leave immediately to go to Country M to find my brother."
Xu Jiayi didn't say much, just threw a suitcase to Jiang Yining. She and Jiang Yining had been together for so many years and had some feelings for each other. Jiang Yining was also deeply involved in the hospital's industry. If he stayed now, it would be a hidden danger. She had to let him leave with her.
"What about the child in Country M?"
Jiang Yining had a vague feeling that something had happened, but he didn't dare to think too much about it. He was just worried about the child. The child was still young, and he didn't feel comfortable leaving him to be taken care of by an outsider, even if that person was the one who gave birth to him.
"Child, child, you still have the mind to take care of children at this time? If you like children, you can have more later. Now save yourself first."
Xu Jiayi was a little impatient. Children, children, children. Just thinking about it made her feel annoyed.
Public opinion online was still fermenting. Xu Qingye made a phone call, received a reply from the other party, and then posted a message on his main account.
The entertainment industry's top gossip account: A talented musician with a strong character, yet a vicious heart. @徐嘉依@姜音宁.
These days, Xu Qingye was investigating along the way and met a reporter who was also investigating the case. The reporter had been undercover in the hospital for some time and had a full grasp of the other party's crimes. However, the interest structure of this kind of thing was complicated, and the reporter did not dare to make it public for a while, fearing that it would be suppressed like many other news. There was a sensation at the time, but there was no follow-up movement.
Xu Qingye and he discussed it and decided that this matter must be made a big deal. It just so happened that there were people from the entertainment industry involved. The entertainment industry had a lot of attention and everyone was very enthusiastic about it. They could use the influence of the entertainment industry to bring this matter to the surface. With more people paying attention, naturally they would not dare to let it go.
The entertainment industry is where surrogacy is most serious, and all kinds of gossip have been circulating. This is the first time that it has been thrown out so bluntly.
Xu Qingye's revelations were gradual, from exposing Xu Jiayi's true identity to the surrogacy between the two. When the news became more popular, he announced that Xu Jiayi was involved in the surrogacy industry.
On the other hand, the reporter directly called the police and used his own account to disclose the hospital's surrogacy industry, including several recent cases of surrogate mothers' deaths.
Because the events happened almost simultaneously, it's hard not to connect them together.
Since human lives were involved, the matter naturally could not be handled casually. Soon there was an official announcement, and careful netizens discovered that Xu and Jiang were mentioned in the announcement, and they were naturally connected with the surrogacy melon.
Qingzhixiaobandeng: I finally understand. It seems that Xu and Jiang are not just buyers, but also participants. The notice said that Xu and Jiang used their influence to recruit customers. This is pimping in the circle.
Evil Angela: I thought the Internet had no memory. The Xu Jiayi incident caused such a big stir, but it seems like everyone has lost their memory. I can't even find the posts in a certain group. I didn't expect that there are experts who can dig them out. I thought she had turned over a new leaf after being cleansed of her evil ways, but I didn't expect that she was killing people and setting fires. Tsk tsk tsk tsk.
······
There were a lot of discussions about this incident online, and Xu Qingye also bought a lot of hot searches. As usual, he found all the high-authority yellow V accounts, and all kinds of hot searches followed suit in a short while.
Xu Jiayi and Jiang Yining wanted to run away, but they were taken away as soon as they arrived at the airport. There were many people at the airport, and photos of the two being taken away were taken and uploaded to the Internet.
Xu Qingye continued to expose information at his own pace, and this time it involved some deeper content. There was a list in the hospital that recorded the names of people who had done business with Xu Jiayi and others over the years. If it was made public, it would cause turmoil.
Xu Qingye knew that this list could not be made public, but just mentioning it could have a slight deterrent effect.
It is difficult for such things to be truly settled, they can only come to a temporary end.
Xu Qingye prepared some food at home and invited the reporters back to have dinner together.
The reporter is called Chen Lin. He is young but looks a little vicissitudes of life. He has broken many big news over the years and has always been working on the front line.
"Thanks to your help this time, I'm afraid I wouldn't have such a big influence on my own."
Speaking of this, Chen Lin couldn't help feeling a little bitter. He exposed the darkness, but also witnessed deeper darkness. Over the years, he had doubted more than once whether his persistence was correct.
"Meeting is fate, I just stumbled upon it by accident."
Xu Qingye shook his head. He didn't expect things to develop like this. At first, he thought the two were just pimping middlemen who used their connections to solicit business in the circle. He didn't expect the two to be so involved.
The hospital that was sealed off was owned by Xu Jiayi's family. It was originally a high-end private hospital that provided advanced maternity care centers, etc., but later it gradually became a gray industry.
If we dig deeper into the Xu family, we will find that there are actually many things, but they just can't access them.
"No matter what, you're a journalist with a strong sense of justice. Do you want to work with me? Being a paparazzi is a waste of your talent."
Chen Lin looked at Xu Qingye and wanted to recruit him into the gang. It was difficult to find someone who had a sense of justice and did not value money nowadays.
"No, actually I'm not such a kind person. I just like staying in the entertainment industry. The money is the easiest to make in the entertainment industry. I can stay there for a month or so, take some photos and easily sell them for hundreds of thousands.
If there's no big news, taking some cool celebrity photos and selling them to fans is enough to make a living, and I really can't stand hardship."
Xu Qingye declined politely. He couldn't be a hero and just wanted to be a melon owner. He had suffered enough recently for filming the surrogacy story.
"Since you don't have that idea, forget it. You must have spent quite a bit of money this time, so I'll give you some of the bonus when I get it. I won't let you suffer too much."
Chen Lin did not force him. Xu Qingye had already helped a lot this time, and he couldn't really force him to suffer with him.
"No, no, I'm not short of money. Besides, in the long run, I'm actually making money. I gained almost a million followers this time. Fans mean traffic, and traffic means money. If you have any big news in the future, just tell me. Of course, it has to be related to the entertainment industry. I only deal in the entertainment industry."
Xu Qingye waved his hand. Chen Lin’s bonus would not be too much. It was all hard-earned money, and Xu Qingye was embarrassed to share it with him. He only spent some money on hiring water army this time. Some yellow Vs were very righteous and confiscated his money. Overall, the cost was not that high.
After chatting with Chen Lin for a whole night, Chen Lin talked a lot about his various undercover evidence collection experiences. Xu Qingye was amazed and said that it would definitely be interesting if it were made into a drama. He thought he could find a screenwriter to discuss this topic.
After sending Chen Lin away, Shen Que leaned against the door and looked at Xu Qingye. Xu Qingye looked a little thinner and it seemed that he had been really hard-working recently.
Shen Mu and Xiao Xiao had already gone back, and Shen Que naturally moved back to his room. He had recently auditioned for several dramas, but had not received any response yet. Without an agency to support him, it was really difficult for a newcomer to enter the circle.
"I saw the news. You've been busy with this recently. Have you been in any danger?"
Shen Que didn't know much about Xu Qingye's job, but from their conversation tonight, it was clear that it wasn't a particularly safe job.
"I'm not doing this full-time, so what danger could there be? I just followed Jiang Yining and Xu Jiayi to take some photos. Lin Mu did the undercover work and collected evidence. I was just helping to expand their influence online. This was purely an accident. My main job is to photograph celebrities, and at most, I'll take some small gossip about infidelity. My subsequent work will also focus on the marketing account."
Xu Qingye explained, but fearing that Shen Que wouldn't believe him, he turned on the computer and showed him all the photos in his photo album.
"Well, be safe. I've recently auditioned for a few dramas, but haven't received any responses yet."
Chen Que and Xu Qingye reported their work progress. Xu Qingye was not surprised by this. Many auditions were just formalities. The leading role had been decided long ago, and they only held an audition because they were afraid of gossip.
"Don't worry, 'The Emperor's Alliance' will start promoting soon. You'll definitely be able to get a little bit of publicity, and then auditioning will be easy."
Xu Qingye said as he sent the edited photo to Shen Que and edited some text for him.
"When the crew starts promoting the show, you should post more on Weibo to get some publicity. I'll also help you with that. I've also found you an acting teacher, so if you have nothing else to do, go take a class."
Xu Qingye found a very famous teacher for Shen Que, but he is still unknown for the time being. In the subsequent plot, the teacher gradually became popular. It is very cost-effective to ask him to take classes now.
The surrogacy issue has caused panic in the industry, and many crews have secretly replaced actors, fearing that someone's sudden scandal will affect the entire drama.
As for Su Ziyu, after Xu Qingye managed her fans, her impression on the production team improved a lot, and she got another good role. Jiang Boqi's concert also officially announced that there would be a mysterious guest, but the silhouette released made a group of people rack their brains to figure out who it was.
[Keshengkesi] In the group, Shen Mu was already spinning around in excitement. Xu Qingye really didn't lie to her. The real host was going to give out candies in person, and for the sake of friendly cooperation, Mana gave her three tickets. She could happily go to the front row to eat candies.
